I had this damn WD passport for 1-2 years. It’s 4 am and I decided to try to fix my life right now. I logged into all my broker accounts to cry over my portfolios that I’ve ignored for 1-2 years, opened a browser to inquire about getting a doctoral degree. I also watched 4 videos on this passport hard drive and by the grace of GOD I found your video after so many failed tutorials over many years. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Biggest accomplishment in 6 months if not a year 😂. Now that I’m freeing up space my mac will work faster. It’s frustrating trying to do serious things on a slow computer. THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN
Thank you. You made this so easy. Can't believe I need a tutorial on how to use an EHD, but here we are. What bs. Whatever happened to just plugging something in and using it. Again, thank you, very easy and got the outcome I wanted
Thank you so much for your detailed explanation. Apple products are supposed to be plug and play. WTF Western Digital? Nothing is more frustrating than opening a brand new package and then finding that the product needs additional coaxing, but I am not going to pay through the roof for Apple products just for the seal of approval. Thanks again for saving my bacon!
That was awesome. Thank you so much for posting the video. It didn't work for me, and I'll have to call the customer service number, but it was still an excellent video and the steps were super easy to follow.
My mac doesn't even have an external option when clicking on disk utility. I think it has to do with it being from my job and security issues. Got any vids on formatting it for a pc?
I am a novice. Can I retain some data (namely, iCalendar and Contacts, on my Mac? Can I prevent it from being ported to the Passport? Can I go back to the Passport, and cherry pick particular items to be returned to my Mac? Will this affect the availability of data on my other Apple products, or will the iCalendar and Contacts remain on those other products? Much obliged, sir!
You can use the cloud for that type of stuff, I recommend the passport for bigger files. For me I store pictures and videos on there so they don’t bog down my memory on my MacBook. Those icalendar, contacts files aren’t big enough for there to be a need to back them up on a portable hard drive, they should be automatically backed up to iCloud
I have "My Passport Ultra for Mac, 5TB). I know I can backup my Mac computer to "My Passport" using Time Machine, but do you recommend Partitioning "My Passport" for the backup? Is it possible to save other files (E.g. word documents, audio books, excel files) to "My Passport" along with the backup?

thank you, can i plug it to my other laptop with windows system? or it'll only work on mac ?
This is only for Mac, you may have to change the file system to have it work for windows
